What is your favorite movie?

This is a place where you can tell everyone your favorite movies,your most favorite movie :).

My favorite movie is The Incredibles. I love this movie because Pixar perfectly made fun of superheroes in this movie while still having a serious story. The characters are great and Mr.Incredible's need to do hero work is good because it shows us how hard it is for a hero to just stop hero stuff and be normal. It is shown further when we see that his boss is a person who will not help anyone and only thinks of himself and his company. The comedy is great too like when it makes fun of how villains always make a big speech when they have their enemies right where they want them.

I still wonder why Pixar decided to make a Cars 2 instead of a Incredibles 2. The Incredibles goes up with the Toy Story Trilogy & Monsters Inc as my favorite Pixar movie and i think it is one of Pixar's greatest movies.

    Cars was more geared towards children than The Incredibles, so I guess it made sense to give it a sequel. Or maybe they just realized that they couldn't make any more games based on the first film (seriously, there were like 3!). Who knows.

    It's hard to pick any one film above all others, but I guess I'd have to pick Star Wars: The Emperor Strikes Back.
    Or Who Framed Roger Rabbit!? Or Basil the Great Mouse Detective. Or...

    Yeah but still The Incredibles would have made a far better sequel. Think about it like this. The options for a sequel would be A Bug's Life,Finding Nemo,The Incredibles,Cars,Ratatouille,Wall-E, and Up.

    It's been a while since i seen Bug's life but i think they did wrap up the story, Finding Nemo,Ratatouille,Wall-E, and Up had great endings and wrapped up the story well. Even Cars 1 was even wrapped up. But anyway let's say Cars was not wrapped up. So that leaves Cars & The Incredibles.

    Fair enough The underminer story was wrapped up in Rise of the Underminer but it would have been better to get a movie made around it instead of a spy story with Mater. Now don't get me wrong i did like Cars 1 & 2 but if it was compared to Incredibles or any other Pixar movie and we had to pick a movie for a sequel then i will pick The Incredibles,Monsters Inc and Toy Story.

    I really can't determine my favorite movies. What I can say is the movies that I've seen the most in theaters, if that's any indication.

    For instance, I'm probably going to see Avengers for the sixth time in theaters tomorrow...

    Yeah...

    And people will probably laugh at me for the movie that takes second place, so I won't even mention it.

    My top 5:

    1. Cecil B. DeMille’s The Ten Commandments
    Don’t give me any shit for this. I love the movie for the acting, the actors, the dialogue, the sets and set decor, the effects, and especially the story. I simply love this movie.

    2. The Thing
    First movie I ever saw that gave me nightmares. As I grew older I was able to appreciate the film more, for it’s sense of claustrophobic horror and every man for himself style, but mostly for it’s special effects. Ray Harryhausen would be proud.

    3. Raiders of the Lost Ark
    I first saw this movie in the late 90s in a small re-release. I quickly became enchanted with the story, and ever since then I have been following the series and it’s “legend” as close as possible. If it weren’t for this movie, I wouldn’t be a writer (I do adventure stories.)

    4. Back to the Future
    Why does anybody love this movie? It’s funny, it’s got a pop culture/ science-fiction twist, and it’s just simply a great movie.

    5. It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
    No real need to explain. You just got to love this film.

    There's a lot of movies I love, so it's hard to pick one favourite one... But, I do insanely love Back to the Future... The Lord of the Rings... and How to Train Your Dragon. How to Train Your Dragon is awesome. I mean... how can you not love this?

    Because in order to fund great, more artistic movies they need cash ins. Movies like Wall E and the Incredibles didn't profit the much. Ars is their number one profiting movie of all time.

    Not by the world box office numbers(Incredibles beat Cars). The marketability factor does heavily weigh in. What boy doesn't have cars?

    I gave this some more thought and decided that Lawrence of Arabia needs to be really high on my list.

    Always hard to choose the top spot but probably Casablanca. It's hard to imagine a more perfect movie.

    Though sometimes it has to defend its position against The Third Man, Rear Window, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Iron Giant and The Apartment.

    I don't think it comes as a surprise to many that one of my favourite movies is Megamind, but still it hasn't taken the top spot which is still being held by Face/Off. Other favourites of mine is, Hot Fuzz, The Road to El Dorado and Cutthroat Island.

    I love Megamind & Road to El Doraddo, Their great movies in my opinion.

    Really hard to nail mine down to any kind of list because I love a lot of movies. Definitely high on the list would be the Back to the Future trilogy, the original Star Wars trilogy, Star Trek(the 2009 film by JJ Abrams), Batman(1989), and The Last Starfighter. Hard for me to give those any order though.

    Anyone see 'Death race'? It's a great movie. Not only because I love racing and fast cars ( :D ), but I like the story, too.

    I love movies and I will watch any kind ( except musicals). I made a top ten based on movies I can watch over and over and never get sick of them, plus I tried to include multiple genres.



    Lars And The Real Girl
    The Shawshank Redemption
    Back to the Future
    Fargo
    The Incredibles
    Rear Window
    A Christmas Story (to be replaced after the holidays by Frailty)
    Saving Private Ryan
    Babe
    The Silence of the Lambs

    I constantly want to add and change movies on this list. Other posters remind me of great movies, like Ghostbusters, or I look at my movie collection, and think " I need The Sixth Sense on there".

    Meh, that's the populist viewpoint.

    Whilst it's true that 'Busty Nurses 6: Boobies Without Borders' and 'Busty Nurses 7: Injecting the Beef' represented a sharp decline in quality for the series (following on as they did from the sublime 'Busty Nurses 5: Dying For Some TLC'); 'Busty Nurses 8: Back in the Groove - Back in the Mood' was a true return to form.

    However, 'Busty Nurses 9: Keep on Bustin'' is simply the real connoisseurs choice when it comes to buxom health carers.

    Yes. The nurses just got less and less busty from that movie on.

    That's my biggest problem. However, there are certain movies that I could watch every day and not hate myself for doing it. Among them are the Back to the Future movies, Jurassic Park(just the first one, have to be in the mood for The Lost World and REALLY have to be in the mood for 3), The Last Starfighter, and J.J. Abrams' Star Trek.

    I'm not sure. I like several movies equally well. Movies that I may have, in the past, said were my favorite, I have seen so many times that I don't feel the need to watch them much.



    umm... okay, I guess it would have to be a tie between:
    Star Trek (2009);
    Star Wars: Revisited (fan edit by Adywan);
    Return of the Jedi DeSpecialized (fan preservation by Harmy);
    Batman Begins

    I love Star Trek 4 and 6, and want to put them on that list, but maybe I'm just thinking about good Trek movies and want to see those again since it's been a while.
